"they move the rig near Belmont , LA. We've been working in Coushatta LA. Got to experience my first earthquake there. Strange sensation when the ground starts shaking you and everything around you" OK, you are working up north west from here. In "Redneck Louisiana" as it is known. I am way...

yeah, I get cats n dogs showing up at my house sometimes. somebody told me that "pets find you, you don't find them" So I have taken a few animals in over the years. Or I find a home for them, since I live on a roadway with traffic, and in the back yard is a bayou with alligators and water...

. Yes, back then. as young kids in that area. We used to ride our bikes to that Grauman's Chinese Theatre and watch people get their plastic molded souvenir from that machine outside. Ride over to The La Brea Tarpits, and we went to an inside display, and were throwing rocks and sticks into the...

oooh yeah! I remember all that. two of us on one bike sometimes. the banana seats had sparkle reflectors in the design. and those type of handlebars were funny at the time. and a five-speed stick shift on a bicycle, how revolutionary! And go ride around on a warm Los Angeles Saturday...

. yeah! I remember growing up in Los Angeles late 60's to early 70's. Tonka trucks built tuff. They had that "steel" symbol on them. We trashed on them in a dirt spot in the back yard. hard to break them. Also remember them Schwinn bicycles, the Stingray, with a "sissy bar" and that big flat...

The steering on my 20-year-old Troy-Bilt Pony (MTD/Craftsman/Yard Machine) is going out also. It is similar, if not the same as posted here. Now I gotta take a look at it.

yes, I remember them devices! Advertised on the Art Bell show, (C.C. Crane) and maybe shows on WWCR shortwave. Back when they had William Cooper on, and others. maybe 7435 kHz??? So I made a few of them. Just make a big multi-turn loop antenna with a variable capacitor to tune in. And...

I found their schedule: https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen starting at 2100 zulu on 17675 kHz I will check for it. not much on the SW bands anymore. in English. I listen for pirates. 6850 to 6965 kHz area. mostly religious stuff these days. I used to listen to that guy that said...

I work on and repair that kind old tube stuff. but it would cost a lot of money to send it out. do you live around Baton Rouge. ?? and maybe a hard to find transformer or tube is needed. or many capacitors need replacing. what is the apparent problem with that receiver? I just gave a guy all...

OK, worked on a Connex 3300HP that had no PA or Echo. the problem was in the echo board, and I replaced it. Now PA works. and echo works, but he does not use that. But........ this guy claims that while he is outside of his truck, in PA mode, he can get radio calls also in the PA speaker on...

a few years ago, on 17 meters, there was a guy that vacationed down in Jamaica and he had an antenna set up like that, right on the beach several feet off the sand. I would talk to him during his Winter vacation down there. And also there was a guy that would go to a park near Phoenix AZ and...

ha ha ha. ha ha. when I first started working on these radios a few years ago. I would get a radio working, and adjust the AMC and ALC, remove the "NPC" mod, etc. then after I give the working radio back to the owner, they would take it to "the other guy" to make their radio a "splatter...

. it would be nice if you could get them schematics from that guy. if he is still currently walking on planet Earth.

yes, it is funny and true. it is posted on cbtricks.org and comes from Wireless Marketing Corp. ..... FACT SHEET From Wireless Marketing Corp.

I got this from Stryker Radios. The info on the latest version, with the five MOSFETS in the RF amp. One MOSFET driving four MOSFETs with a cute little fan blowing on them. I repaired one of these radios recently, but did not have all this info yet. I had 25 watts carrier, with modulation...
